I've been thinking a lot about the way to provide an API for
applications. Reading xine code, our old code, and my new code i think
the best interface is the one i proposed in GstVideoOverlay.

It has everything.

set_video_overlay gives the xid or the dfb resource you want to draw in
( no reparenting)

2 signals for size and have_overlay (the last one allows you to let the
video sink create the window for you)..

So i didn't want to break your stuff with XOverlay and i couldn't use it
for ximagesink and xvimagesink. That's why i m implementing this
interface now and am writing a demo app to show how it works.
